They're an alternative to US right wing consensus - instead of being pro free markets, pro Christian morality or pro strong defense they are just pro white nationalism. This obviously isn't /new/ but it is untraditional in the US and has (and continues?) to be a marginal movement. Their culture is on /b/ and maybe idk theredpill. It's memes, vidya, anime, gore pics, creepypasta, cruel lolz, cringe, and tons and tons of pr0n.

i've been watching million dollar extreme. sometimes it is really really funny, and sometimes it is ideologically okay (like the sketch about our shitty drinking water) and then they just say something openly misogynistic or racist or the sketch is just brutally uncomfortable. idk i'd like to discuss it but i don't have much to say. it's clearly unique, and sam is clearly v smart + funny, and also i'm disappointed in adult swim for giving them a platform.

i don't think fedora is entirely linked. there may be associations/links between fedora/brony culture and the alt-right but generally speaking i think fedoras are more likely to show up in cringe threads than be worn by hardcore white supremacists.

nb that i don't think 4chan is 100% alt-right but i think broadly speaking a lot of the aesthetic comes from there and there's lots of crossover. i wouldn't consider st0rmfr4nt alt-right - that seems more traditionally racist to me.

Well, maybe I'm misunderstanding alt-right. I thought it referred to e.g. Breitbart/Milo Yiannopoulos, who I thought are still more or less pro- a lot of those things as well as being more blatantly racist and nationalistic than, say, Mitt Romney.

politics for various alt-righters probably differ but on those topics i'd guess the majority are pro-protectionism anti-immigration agnostic on Christian morality (and in many cases ideologically opposed to religious faith) isolationist or in some cases extreme hawkism (drop nukes on the middle east). and of course the central component is defending the race against #whitegenocide. also jew-hating.

god knows if i can or want to find it again but there are forum posts out there by him that are the now-standard post-libertarian line, like: "i used to be apolitical and in favor of freedom, but now i see that america has been ruined since the civil rights movement and feminism, it needs to be purged" etc

it's really not. it jumped on the alt-right bandwagon thru Milo but he started as just an observer and tho the alt-right will pretty much accept any celebrity legitimacy they can get, he remains a controversial figure in the movement (bc he's gay and jewish). he wrote this around the time breitbart began embracing the alt-right: http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/ - where you can see that he's interacting w/ them more as an anthropologist than a participant. xxp

Have we discussed anywhere this guy taking a guilty plea to a terrorism charge? Hope this clears the way for more accurate labeling of white supremacist terrorists as they are charged in our justice system.

In his recent book, "The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11," conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza maintains that the political left has helped make the United States the target of Islamic extremists. "A decadent American culture" and "an aggressive global campaign to undermine the traditional patriarchal family and to promote secular values," D'Souza writes, has made Muslims feel that "their most cherished beliefs and institutions are under assault."

According to D'Souza, the best way to resist radical Islam is to make common cause with Muslim traditionalists who reject Western decadence and secularism but also shun violence and extremism.[/q]

he is referring to the slaves in africa being supplied by african slavers (then conflating those slavers and slaves into "blacks"). he is a real piece of work. i've seen some of his stuff through the youtube channel "Shaun" that examines some popular far right figures.

Portland, Oregon, official says report that a police commander exchanged friendly text messages with a leader of far-right protests that have rocked the city confirms collusion exists between some police and right-wing extremists. https://t.co/Xkk4iaD318— AP West Region (@APWestRegion) February 15, 2019

No. It was a free market and there was an exchange of commodities. Black slavers exchanged captives for various valuable western-made goods. White slavers bought human beings to be ruthlessly exploited until they died of illness, overwork, or malnutrition. Pretending human slaves are the same as an addictive substance is bollocks, unless you are citing white slave owners's greedy addiction to the huge profits they could make from sugar and cotton plantations.

there is like zero way to read it that isn't the dumbest shit ever written

you greatly overestimate the average person's knowledge of history and ability to see through this sort of bullshit. it should not go unchallenged, wherever and whenever it shows up. even on ilx, where it was quoted only in order to mock it.

there's clearly something... missing there. it's actually cruel of his parents to let him flail around in public like that, but i guess we live in a brave new world where even the mentally challenged get to be political pundits.

A @gwupoe scoop: A LT in the US Coast Guard was arrested this week for drug and gun charges. It looked like a run of the mill case until the detention memo filed yesterday. He had a hit list, contacts with white supremacists, guns, and, again, was an Coastie assigned to HQ.— Seamus Hughes (@SeamusHughes) February 20, 2019

I altered this image to make Shapiro look shorter. The tell is in the top two buttons in Peterson's shirt: I extended his torso using content aware scale and added a button but the spacing isn't right.

Shit going down tonight at a Portland police listening session that local Proud Boys assholes showed up to. Thread here:
